Cheap Flights to Lauterhofen from HK$2,599

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Lauterhofen. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Lauterhofen a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
